Cast votes to win Lucas Elementary $500,000 through Kohl’s Facebook contest

Kohl’s Cares, a philanthropic subsidiary of Kohl’s Department Stores, is holding a contest to see which 20 public K-12 schools in the United States will win $500,000.

The competition – which can be accessed at http://apps.facebook.com/KohlsCares/ -- gives Facebook users a chance to cast up to 20 votes on behalf of their favorite schools: a maximum of five votes can be cast for one school. So after casting your first five votes for Lucas (make sure you pick the one in Iowa City! There are several in the U.S.), consider using your other votes for Southeast Junior High, City High, or any other public school of your choice.

The contest began July 7 and ends September 3. Winning schools will be announced in September, based on the total number of votes cast for them.

Through its community giving and volunteer program, Kohl’s Cares support kids' health and education, environmental initiatives and women's health. Its vision is a future where kids are healthy, resources are plentiful and breast cancer is a thing of the past.
